So I need a chair for my workplace office & would really like to go with one of the racing style chairs. It would get about 6hrs use /day. Merax has great pricing but I suspect they don't hold up over time. The DxRacer is about twice the price. I was just wondering if anyone here has any experience with them and if they're decent quality. Would also take any tips on any other brands.

    The company has sent a lot of them to youtubers and twitchtv streamers for free. So many brown nosing reviews on youtube about them.
     
    What i have read, the chairs are overpriced.

    Definitely not cheap but they look like good quality. I do not know how long the chair would last you.

    I know quiet a few people in my office that use them. So far they have only positive things to say about them and they are in them around 6+ hours a day. I have sat in one and I am definitely impressed and planning to pick one up for myself.

    I have one and YES they are worth it.  I made sure I got the right one for me.  The seat cushion flairs on the sides and I made sure I got the King one where the seat (flat) part was where those flairs didn't dig into my legs.
     
    The arm rests are hard (my only negative) like other chairs but I got gel padded arm rest covers from Amazon to go over them.
     
    But I LOVE this chair and will buy another one if this one ever goes out.
     
    I had the hydrolic part go out where it wouldn't stay forward or backwards when I set it (the lean) and they sent me a replacement part with no issue.
     
    I can't compare it to other brands though.

    I've looked at them, but have never been sure about them.  On the surface, they appear pretty simplistic when it comes to the feature list.  
     
    Height and recline seem to be the only things they do.

    I bought a knock-off and made a thread about it a few weeks ago. I got the $100 RC-1 version. They are now $90 on Newegg on sale for a few more days. After using it for a while, I still like it. If I sit with my legs open, it will dig in after a bit and I had to mess with the pillows and reclining a while to get it set. I actually swapped the bottom part that has the hydraulics and everything out with my beat up chair because it was a tad beefier and it seemed centered better. It's not a cozy, fluffy, sink-into chair that I would watch movies in all day but It works well for gaming and working. I have heard a few people stated that they have both the RX and the knock offs and the differences are small. If I had to do it again, I probably would have went with a standard leather/fake leather office chair with more padding. I may move this into my recording studio later. It looks super cool and I get work done on it but it could be a little more comfortable.

    They are built well. IMHO you can get better chairs for the same price if you go for a regular office type chair, but if you want the racer style DX are some of the best made.

    Good stuff. Thanks all. Still on the fence since I hate to spend my own $$$ on work. Unfortunately the chair work provides is meh at best.

    If your a fat guy then dont get it. I would imagine that bucket seat constantly holding your love handles. Just go to the junk yard and find a used racing seat in a car and make your own. Just spray it down with febreze and Lysol.

    Correct Translation: I have asked around and no one could give me any info on longevity of these chairs.

    Do they make them for big fat guys?  I'm 571 and I saw a chair that looked like one that could fit me but I don't really need one and I just thought I would up my post count as well.

    A very large selection of gaming chairs, you better read the reviews and choose what suits you. There is an excellent  review of of DXRacer vs AKRacing vs Arozzi.

      For me, I have used all the three brands and what I can tell you is they all have their pros and cons. But to have a deeper picture of their offering, let us first look at the popular models of each brand. Thereafter, we will discuss the important factors to consider when shopping for  and see what brand is the winner in which area.
